Hi joel, beautiful! In the 1st pic, the 2 items on the left--do you know what that glazing technique is called? I have a paint your own pottery class by me and I want to do a few pieces with that technique but I'm having a hard time describing it to the store owner. That's the effect I want. (Took ceramics in college--apparently I've forgotten most of it!)

you know I went to art school and took a sculpture class with an instructor that was all about pottery. I never could get a grip on it...the clay always collapsed on me and if it didn't I'd mess up with the kiln or glaze. And that's why I stuck to video and film.
Anyway, good for you for finding a niche. -

joel, they're beautiful. As someone else asked, do you sell them?

haven't got to the point of thinking of selling them yet. i have only made 35 pieces so far. 20 i am keeping for my personal home gallery and 15 I am giving as xmas presents.
my next three pieces are going to be handbuilt rather than thrown and I plan to attach smaller pieces to form 3 conglomerate pieces.
after that I will have no more room to put anything in my house. LOL. so i may try selling them.

They are all nice, But I love the turquiose colored ones, I have always wanted to do pottery and clay work when I was a kid I grew up in Arizona where we found old pottery pieces on the farm, since then I've always wanted to make bowls & vessels , I need to make that my next craft project.
So if you aren't ready to sell them Joel, Wanna put me on your christmas gift list? ( yes I'm shameless)
